Salt Lake City Insights: Junk Car Values and Trends

We buy a variety of vehicles from people in Salt Lake City, especially older cars and trucks that no longer run well. Pickups like Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados from the early 2000s are common. Many of these trucks have rust or damage from accidents, but they still hold value for parts or rebuilds. Small cars, such as Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas from the late 1990s and early 2000s, are also popular. They tend to have high mileage and issues with worn suspension or broken engines. We’ve noticed that SUVs like Buick Enclaves and Honda CR-Vs from around 2010 are seeing more interest because they’re still in good shape and useful for families. On the other hand, older, compact cars and junked vehicles with heavy damage or engine trouble are decreasing in demand. Vehicles with more than 150,000 miles often come in needing main repairs like new transmissions or body work. In general, younger models that have some wear but still run, or vehicles damaged in minor accidents, are what people sell most. We see a steady flow of cars, trucks, and SUVs, all varying in age and condition but important to the local vehicle market.
